What travellers say

My wife and I went on our first safari and decided to use Afio Mai Africa Safaris. We had an incredible time! Tevin made planning our safari extremely easy and was very responsive to any questions we had. Our driver was very professional and knowledgeable about all the animals and birds. We saw the big five, the small five, the ugly five, and many others.

DennisLake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara

Our driver-guide was perfect in every way: polite, pleasant, always on time, organized, and incredibly knowledgeable of the flora, fauna, and cultures of the Kenyan people. He was extremely helpful in making the trip perfect!
